There is no solvent which can break the silicone loose to avoid the manual labor of removing it with tools?
I'm not worried about removing the silicone. I mean, it's going to be really annoying, but that's fine. The truly painful parts is going to be grinding away all the bubbling paint. It's hard to tell in the pics, but there is a texture underneath the paint on ALLLLLLLLLLL the surface under that damn solar panel. ALLLLLLL that metal is showing corrosion and all the paint needs to be stripped, re-primed, re-based and re-cleared. I can DIY thankfully, but for a shop to do this would probably be yet another multi-thousand dollar repair bill due to previous owner/mechanic negligence/laziness/ignorance.
